....Exactly. The days of conservative Democrats are almost gone. There are very/very few of them left and they are beaten down by the rest of the democrat socialists. I vote straight party because most party members vote the same on the same issues. I am not going to listen to some Democrat lie to me and say he is conservative, just so he can get my vote. Even if the Republican is moderate or even left leaning, he is less likely to vote against his peers than a Democrat voting on conservative issues.
